Make compliance easy with customizable Food Safety software

FoodDocs helps you comply with most of the common standards, such as FSMA, BRC, GMP, SQF, GFSI, HACCP, ISO 22000, GFSI, and more. See our standards compliance page to learn more. 

FoodDocs' food safety software is a tool that helps you to create your HACCP plan faster, using data from states’ regulations and data/feedback from companies similar to yours. Our food safety solution uses machine learning to learn from previous users’ data to become smarter and get more precise with every new user.

Today, we have more than 30,000 users from the foodservice and production sector, mostly from the US and UK, who use FoodDocs for creating and maintaining food safety compliance docs. That said, there are always differences from business to business because each one is unique in how it operates.

The reality is that authorities may also interpret regulations differently. That’s why our HACCP plan is fully customizable; after creating and confirming your HACCP plan, you can always improve upon it.

So what we can guarantee is that if your inspector or food safety consultant asks to add any additional requirement or makes a comment about any content in your HACCP plan, it's super easy and fast to change or add it into your plan.

FoodDocs is not a food safety consultancy. FoodDocs is a software company that provides the tools to quickly and easily create a HACCP Plan based on existing regulations, industry data, and questionnaire info that you provide upon account creation. Each region has its own specific set of regulations, depending on the profile of your business.

If you have any questions about the content of the HACCP Plan that FoodDocs generates for you, it's best to reach out to your local food safety inspector or food safety consulting company.

Do you need to monitor food temperatures more accurately? Is messy paperwork and unreliable physical documentation too risky with stricter regulatory requirements? Are you trying to make continuous improvements to your food safety management processes? Are you trying to prove to customers and inspectors that your food safety program prevents foodborne illness?

FoodDocs' software is perfect for production, food manufacturers, and food service establishments, including those in the healthcare sector. More specifically, central kitchens, ready-to-eat meal producers, butcheries, bakeries, fisheries, hospitals, care homes, restaurants, cafes, hotels, schools, and catering companies can all benefit from FoodDocs. However, since our effective Food Safety Management System is fully customizable, it can be easily used by any business that produces, serves, or sells food.

Yes, digital food safety monitoring aligns with regulatory compliance and is compliant with regulations and acceptable for inspectors.

The USDA Food Safety and Inspection Service’s Compliance Guidelines for Use of Video or Other Electronic Monitoring or Recording Equipment, it states: “If an establishment determines and designates a video or other electronic monitoring or recording equipment to record the required HACCP information, this information is to be included as part of its recordkeeping system description.”

Furthermore, in a December 2023 issue of the journal Food Control, competent authorities (CA) across 15 European Union countries reported that they’ve incorporated digital environments to some extent during their food safety inspections. In fact, “62.5% (55/88) used a digital environment during inspections, the majority to standardize data collection and reporting. CAs autotomize processes through digital technologies related to the management of official control and generation of inspection results, but to a lesser extent to automatize decision-making during inspections.”

The Government of Canada's article about record keeping for your preventive control plan also confirms that, based on their definition of "record", digital food safety records are compliant and acceptable: "A record is a type of document that permanently captures information demonstrating that an action was taken. It can be in either hard copy (printed) or electronic (digital) format. The information can take various forms such as text, figures, graphics, data pictures and videos."

You can check the different plans we offer, along with their monthly or annual costs, and compare their features on our pricing page.

Digital solutions in the food industry cover many aspects of food safety regulations and can range from tens of dollars per month to thousands of dollars per month. In comparison to many solutions, FoodDocs' Food Safety and Quality Management software is much more affordable.
